[Intro]
Am Dm Am Am E Am
[Verse]
Am Dm Am
Old still water sure runs deep
Dm E Am
Nobody knows whats down in that creek.
F7 G Am
Secrets are held in dark and deep,
Am G E Am
On the muddy bottom... of that ole creek.
[Chorus]
C G Am
Don't be crossing me don't you come around,
F7 G E Am
If your lookin' for trouble, it can sure be found.
Am G Am
People don't know the secrets I keep,
F7 G E Am
Buried in the mud... down there asleep.
[Verse]
Am Dm Am
Tried to tell my daughter that boy was bad,
F7 G E Am
Blackhearted, useless, just like his dad.
Am Dm Am
Years ago his daddy crossed me,
F7 G E Am
Now they're buried side by side... in that deep dark creek.
[Chorus]
Am Dm Am
I don't bother nobody, try to keep a good heart,
F7 G E Am
But don't come sneakin' round here in the dark.
F7 G E Am
Bad things have happened to people out here,
Am F7 G E Am
But when I lay down at night my conscious is clear.
[Bridge]
G Am
A secret's easy to keep, won't nothin' be said,
F7 E Am
Between two men if one of them's dead.
[Chorus]
Am Dm Am
I don't bother nobody, try to keep a good heart,
F7 G E Am
But don't come sneakin' round here in the dark.
F7 G E Am
Bad things have happened to people out here,
Am F7 G E Am
But when I lay down at night my conscious is clear.
